Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The key decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you must target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
